"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Bra shopping is nobody's friend.

Re: weekend, I'm teaching private lessons today and tomorrow morning. Cleaning the house. Working on admin stuff.

But the fun stuff includes setting up my new laptop. (Once I load my games, I have to play them to make sure they're working right, yes?) Building my tray birdfeeder.

Anyway, I'd better get going, because I need to practice before lessons today. (Which are stupid with cancellations, so I have a half hour on / half hour off all afternoon. Blargh. Not enough time to get coffee, too much time to just sit around.) And I still have a lot of admin work left over from yesterday, too.

So, farewell sweet internets, for a little while. If I pop back up here in fifteen minutes feel free to chastise me.

Punishingly Intricate

And just because the boobs are large, general bra manufacturers seem to assume they don't need anything pretty to adorn them. I'm so tired of white/beige/black bras. I found one purple one in my size (38DD) a year ago and wore it out in a few months.

I've found a ton of pretty & big bras. 38DD shouldn't be a problem at all! You just have to pay for them (or scour the sales racks). Try Nordstrom.

Weekend:

  • Saturday is my cousin's baby shower
  • Sunday is
The Fly the opera

We're supposed to leave for the Keys a week from tomorrow. Hurricanes can be done by then?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

So, hmm, this is interesting. Change the perceived as slutty to perceived as ugly and undesirable and everything else stays the same (the problems with clothes, the inability to find a bra that fits, even the random grabbing of the tits). So maybe most of the annoyance is boob-related period.

I don't think it is the same. Models have smaller boobs, as do tons of celebrities who are not thought of as ugly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Maybe it's just me, but while it looks like all they sell is A and B cups, they almost never ever fit me. I would go from VS to Macys to Nordo on a doomed quest every year. Maybe my breasts are just freakish and wrong, at least from a manufacturer's POV.

Hmmm. Worth a shot--I think there's a Nordstrom's in the mall near work. Thanks. I usually shop at Kohls.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nah, I kind of think that's mostly true for all women about everything that goes on our bodies. Every single woman on What Not To Wear talks about how X, Y, and Z makes it uniquely difficult for her to find clothes that fit. I think everyone always has to try on a million things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nordy's turned me on to the best fitting bras, but affording pretty ones is a completely different matter. It was much simpler when Victoria's Secret fit.

This is definately something I think all women are made to feel.

Women, anyway. I don't think dudes have this problem as much.
